[dsdp-dd-dev] Basic launching question

["Marc Khouzam \(QA/EMC\)" <marc.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I am trying to trigger the GDB/MI launch programmatically from a JUnit plugin.  I have looked at some articles and

the example code of JUnit tests and I'm trying to do the same basic call, but I'm getting a null pointer exception.

Basically, I try to get the LaunchManager by calling:

 

ILaunchManager launchMgr = DebugPlugin.getDefault().getLaunchManager();

 

But the DebugPlugin.getDefault() is null. 

I'm guessing I have to launch my own JUnit tests in a certain way to trigger the DebugPlugin to be instantiated?

I'm launching my tests by doing DebugAs->JUnit Test

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks
